Chapter 67: Caught In The Act
“Grandpa, I’m feeling tired. I’ll head to my room.” Chu Wuyou fled from the main hall because she did not want to keep the conversation going with Elder Chu. She feared he would set off to the Ye Residence right away to propose a marriage between the two families.
A phone call from her darling daughter came through not long after she returned to the room.
“Mommy, when are you coming home?” Tang Zhixi initiated every phone call with the same question lately.
“Mommy will be back tomorrow.” Chu Wuyou knew her daughter missed her. This was the first time since her birth that both of them were separated for such a long time. She missed both her darlings dearly, too.
“Really? Mommy’s really coming home.” Tang Zhixi cheered out loud on the other end of the phone, “Elder Brother, Mommy’s coming home tomorrow... Oh, I forgot that Elder Brother’s not home.”
“Where has your Elder Brother gone?” Chu Wuyou questioned.
“Elder Brother went to the lab with Uncle Tang, but he said he’ll return soon.”
Chu Wuyou was deeply suspicious of her daughter’s words. She knew her own son better than anyone else; he would not return quickly whenever he visited the laboratory with her Senior.
Her son was only four years old but he matured earlier and was more intelligent than his peers. She must have passed on some good genes to him.
The night in that hotel five years ago was an innocent mistake. After the incident, she managed to flee even though the man was in hot pursuit.
Be that as it may, she got pregnant. She was caught in a deep dilemma but eventually decided to bring the babies into the world.
She rejoiced at the decision she had made years ago. They were the finest gifts from heaven.
Five years passed in a blink of an eye, and she believed the man must have forgotten whatever that happened that night. Of course, the man would not learn that she had delivered two children.
That incident opened her eyes to the fact that he was an overbearing man. She reckoned he would try to take the children away from her if he ever found out the truth.
Therefore, she swore to never allow that man into her life again. Not then, and not in a million years. Five years had passed since and it seemed they would never encounter each other again...
Chu Wuyou woke up before five o’clock the next morning. This was because her Grandpa was an early riser and she feared to bump into him on her escape.
“First Young Lady, where are you heading?” Aunt Liu was startled when she discovered Chu Wuyou coming down the stairs with a suitcase at this hour.
“I’m going on holiday for a few days.” Chu Wuyou decided to hide the truth.
“But it’s too early in the morning. Eh, First Young Lady, what’s the rush? I’ll notify the driver to give you a lift.”
“There’s no need for that, I’ve already called a taxi.” Chu Wuyou had left as her voice trailed off.
Aunt Liu finally regained her composure several moments later. Was the young lady going on a holiday or running for her life?
“President, Miss Chu is already on her way to the airport.” Soon, Ye Lanchen received the call from Secretary Liu.
Ye Lanchen glanced over at his watch to find out it was only a little over 5 am.
It was only 6 am by the time Chu Wuyou arrived at the airport. She had a long time until boarding but all the formalities had already been sorted swiftly.
After walking past the safety check, Chu Wuyou finally released the breath she did not know she was holding. So far so good.
Third Young Master ye had invited her to be at the Ministry of Civil Affairs at 9 am. By then, she should already be on the plane, leaving him waiting there alone.
However, when she finally arrived at the departure lounge, she suddenly discovered a familiar face that was sitting not far from where she was.
It was none other than Third Young Master Ye.
